From the NCSA website: (yes, I know this is not the NCAA website, but it's a concise summary of the rules)
Division 3 NCAA recruiting rules for women’s soccer D3 women’s soccer colleges have the most relaxed recruiting rules among NCAA division levels: Recruiting materials: Athletes can receive recruiting materials at any time. Telephone calls: There is no limit on when college coaches can call athletes. Off-campus contact: After the athlete’s sophomore year, college coaches may begin to conduct off-campus communications. Official visits: Athletes can begin taking official visits after January 1 of their junior year.
